“You fucking touched my mate’s boobs?” Ax roared in the demon's face.
Cosmo flicked his eyes up at Ax, a cold detachment in them settled as he turned into commander mode. “Kill him. We have the other.”
Ax smiled as he crushed his windpipe, knowing that it would be painful before a killing blow. The demon wheezed out, not able to breathe as he waved his claws at him. “See ya never.” His claws plunged into the demon's chest, twisting his arm, and I heard a snap. The tendons keeping the heart intact ripped apart, and the demon's body slumped as it began to dissolve into that slimy substance, dissipating molecule by molecule.
Cosmo rubbed his nose against my neck, inhaling like I was his last salvation from total destruction. Before I gave into Cosmo’s need for reassurance, Ax wiped his hands on his jeans and came toward us.
His hands were outstretched, and Cosmo slowly compiled with a frown. Baby steps. I had to remind myself the past three years they had grown leaps and bounds from how they used to act with each other.
I couldn't help my wince at the hand off, not knowing what the fuck was going on with my body, but I could tell you that it fucking sucked. Both their eyes darkened as they stared daggers at the spot the demon used to be.
“I'm fine.” I moved to jump out of Ax's arms, but he just tightened his grip. I cocked an eyebrow at him.
He huffed, nuzzling into my neck. “Let's just have you get looked at before we play the fine card.”
I turned to tell Cosmo to back me up, but he was gone, the other demon still unconscious on the concrete. The demon's face scrunched up in fear, and I realized they used that new mist Falcon made for us.
Falcon wanted us to test his new concoction in the field. It was geared to incapacitate even the strongest of supes, but he also wanted to see if he could affect their minds. From this point of view, I would have to say it's a success on that front.
A familiar car came screeching around the corner. Cosmo zoomed to the front passenger door, opening it as he motioned for me to sit. A dull ache filled my chest, and I grimaced, my body pressing further up against Ax's always hot body. It was like his chest was a heating pad, and my boobs didn't want to move away.
Closing my eyes, I sighed, “The heat’s soothing.”
I heard the car door close as soft lips caressed my forehead, Cosmo's deep tone filled the space around me. “Whatever you need, Ray.” Followed by a clipped, “Get in the back. I already called a doc, he's waiting at the house.”
I cringed. “Guys–”
A growl rumbled from Ax, his chest causing me to bounce a little as he smoothly slipped into Cosmo's car. “Hush, Siren. We’re taking over.” Cosmo quick dialed someone, telling them to come pick up the demon and take him to the lab.
Huffing out my frustration, I swallowed my pride and snuggled in deeper. “Fine. Have it your fucking way.”
“Finally!” Cosmo and Ax said at the same time as the car raced down the street.
It didn’t take long to get home, but as soon as the wheels stopped, I saw Avery and Lex racing up to the door to open it.
“What happened?”
Avery's concerned voice called out just as Lex's angry voice growled, “Why the fuck is she even hurt?! What were the two of you even doing?”
Before either could argue, I bit out, “Hey! I'm not dead. Just . . . a little sore.”
Lex glared at Ax as he spoke through clenched teeth, “She’s a vampire! Why would she be sore?!”Join the club! It was confusing me, too.
“I don't fucking know.” My voice sounded weak, even to me, and Lex's eyes flashed down to me, softening as his jaw clenched.
Cosmo cleared his throat, his voice telling me he was hanging on by a thread as he waved his hand toward the door. “That's why we’re heading to see the doctor. Let's go.”
He glared around as he clipped out the last words, waving Ax forward. Ax shoved Lex with his shoulder as he passed him by and rushed to the door.
As we crossed the threshold, I heard a familiar no-nonsense voice. “Up here. I have him set up in our room.” I tilted my head, eyes meeting with those artic crystal blues that made my heart skip a beat at their laser-focused attention on me. Awe, he left his lab because he was worried about me.
I cracked a smile at him as Ax took three stairs at a time. I called out over Ax’s shoulder, “You didn't have to leave the lab. I know your working on-”
“This is more important,” his eyes searched my face as he followed next to Ax, “You are more important.” I swear, my heart was about to burst out of my chest for those simple but incredibly sweet words.
His cheeks heated, and he faced forward, quickly moving to open our door and escape my melted gaze. Sometimes, he surprised me in the best of ways.
We entered our massive room that took up a whole wing of the second floor. Six beds lined the wall, each section having its own vibe the size of a regular bedroom, only with an open concept feel. Right in the middle was my white, double king with our resident doc standing next to it, scowling at me with his all-seeing spirit mage eyes.
